[SHORT POST] FBID: Information From Facebook Photo ID!

Posted: 2 years ago by @pentestit3728 viewsUpdated: June 9, 2017 at 4:28 am

This short post is about FBID, an open source tool in Python that helps you get more information about a user based on just a Facebook renamed photo or a link to the actual photo. The tool is pretty simple to understand and does not have as many dependencies either, requiring only re, sys, json and urllib2 Python libraries.

FBID: Information from Facebook Photo ID!

This tool will come in handy for forensic investigators who are able to get only the image URL in the perpetrators history or for any one who has a photo saved from Facebook with it’s ID and want’s to know more about the owner. Maybe the guys who code DataSploit would want to add this to their toolset so that we are able to get some more information if they find reference to a Facebook account in their analysis phase.

Example of a normal Facebook image URL –https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-1/c75.4.53.53/207855_199796336721956_1361738_n.jpg?oh=cce1ad6f90b2416e227e4abf75b20b9e&oe=59E309A4 The information we get after running it through FBID:

This is good enough information to get you started with your analysis. With the profile ID, you can then crawl further and gain more information about the target like EXIF information from photos, friends, location, etc. if it is public.
